An equivalent unit of conversion costs is equal to the amount of conversion costs required to

A) Start a unitB) Start and complete a unitC) Transfer a unit in or out

B) Start and complete a unit

If the units in the beginning Work-in-Process Inventory are greater than the units in the ending Work-in-Process Inventory, then the units transferred out are

A) More than the units started during the periodB) Equal to the equivalants of productionC) less than the units started during the period

In the computation of the manufacturing cost per equivalent unit, the weighted average method of process costing considers

This is the basic concept of weighted average. FIFO considers current costs only.

In order to compute equivalent units of production using the FIFO method of process costing, work for the period must be broken down to units

A) Completed during the period and units in ending inventoryB) started during the period and units transfered out during the periodC) Completed from Beg. Inv., started andcompleted during the month, and units in E-Inventory.

C) Completed from Beg. Inv., started andcompleted during the month, and units in E-Inventory.

Materials are added at the beginning of a process in a process costing system. The beginning Work-in-Process Inventory was 30% complete as to conversion costs. Using first-in, first-out (FIFO) process costing, the total equivalent units for material are:

A) Units started this period in this process

B) Units started this period in this process plus the beginning inventory

C) Beginning inventory this period for this process

A) Units started this period in this process

Since materials are added at the start, beginning WIP will contain all the materials from last period. Only the goods started this month will contain this month's materials.

Additional materials are added in the second department of a four-department production process. However, this addition does not increase the number of units being produced in the second department, but will:

A) Increase the total cost per unitB) Decrease the value of hte transferred in costsC) decrease the total costs to account for

A) Increase the total cost per unit

C) Actual costing

Which of the following statements is (are) false regarding first-stage and second-stage cost allocation methods?(A) The basic difference between a first-stage cost allocation and a second-stage cost allocation is that cost pools are not used in first-stage cost allocations.(B) Predetermined overhead rates are used in first-stage cost allocations but not in second-stage cost allocations.

A) Only A is trueB) Only B Is trueC) Both are trueD) Neither is true

C) Both are true

The electricity used for production machinery would be classified as a

A) Volume relatedB) Batch-retlatedC) Product-related

A) Volume-Related

Which of the following costs is not a batch-related activity?

A) Material handlingB) Machine setupsC) Compliance costs

A) VolumeB) BatchC) ProductD) All of these

D) All of these

Which of the following statements is (are) true? (1) Activity-based costs per unit are always greater than volume-based costs per unit.(2) Volume-based costing has typically resulted in lower gross margins for high volume products and higher gross margins for low volume products.

A) Only 1 is trueB) Only 2 is trueC) Both are true

B) Only 2 is true

Multiple (departmental) manufacturing overhead rates are considered preferable to a single (plant wide) overhead rate when (CMA adapted)

A) manufacturing is limited to a single product flowing through identical departments in a fixed sequence.

B) various products are manufactured that do not pass through the same departments or use the same manufacturing techniques.

B) various products are manufactured that do not pass through the same departments or use the same manufacturing techniques.

Companies using activity-based costing (ABC) have learned that costs are a function of

A) Volume and activitiesB) Time and complexityC) Volume and time

A) Volume and activities

Green Lumber Supply noticed a recent decline in the amount of purchases from a key customer. Worried that other customers might also reduce their purchases, Green's management decided to evaluate the cost of its delivery service. Which of the following cost drivers is more appropriate for general administrative costs of the Delivery Department?

A) Number of items orderedB) Value of each orderC) Number of deliveries made
